CONSHOHOCKEN — Police have arrested a local man who they say threatened another man after he refused to buy the man liquor.

George Hernandez, 54, of the 100 block of Maple Street, Conshohocken, was taken into custody Saturday around 12:30 p.m., after police received reports of a drunk man wielding a shotgun on his front property.

Hernandez is charged with simple assault, reckless endangerment, disorderly conduct, terroristic threats, possessing an instrument of crime and public drunkenness.

According to the affidavit, Montgomery County radio dispatched Conshohocken police to the Maple Street address, with reports of a male with a shotgun, holed up at his house, claiming he would “shoot anyone who knocks.”

An alleged victim at the home of Hernandez told police Hernandez was intoxicated and was demanding the man take him to the liquor store. The victim said he refused, but told Hernandez to calm down because the neighbors would likely call 911.

Hernandez then reportedly became irate and ran upstairs to retrieve a shotgun. As he was coming down the stairs he reportedly said, “this will cut you in half,” and pointed the shotgun out the front door.

The victim reportedly fled the house, in fear for his safety. That is when Hernandez reportedly followed him, shotgun in hand. As the pair were outside, Hernandez reportedly said, “I know who my friends are, you are just as bad as the (expletive) pigs.”

It was at this time that police arrived and took Hernandez into custody.
